You make me think of a guy I met, Riverside area (I think), that has maybe 50-75 bare blocks, mostly 59A's, all stored indoors, neatly arranged racks, catagorized & a notebook of notes on each one, bore size, any mods, etc.
I was looking for a builder-block, so I looked. I could have a choice of any - 5 bills each, and no promises, no guarantees. I passed.
The guy is older than me, meaning at least early 80's. I wonder what will become of them. What I've seen more than once, family has no knowledge or interest, someone cleans house, they go on a trailer or truck-load, and go by the pound for scrap.
Not very long ago, one of my friends passed, the crew came, loaded about 5 trailers with T, A, and early V8 stuff, and took it to the local metal dealer. It hurts...
